A groundbreaking new study reveals that PediaSure Plus with PeptiGro can significantly improve the growth and overall health of undernourished and at-risk children. Conducted by Abbott, the randomized controlled trial demonstrated that children who consumed PediaSure Plus twice daily over an eight-month period experienced double the height gain and nearly 50% more lean mass compared to those who received only dietary counseling.
The clinical findings were unveiled during the official launch of PediaSure Plus with PeptiGro System in the Philippines. Medical experts including Dr. Jose Dimaano Jr., Dr. Mandy Ow, and Dr. Jennifer Olay joined celebrity moms and brand ambassadors Chesca Kramer and Dimples Romana to discuss early childhood nutrition and the vital role it plays in a child’s development.
The SPROUT study followed 330 children aged 2 to 5 years who were mildly stunted or at risk of undernutrition. Those who incorporated PediaSure Plus into their diets exhibited remarkable improvements: longer bones, 40% more bone density gain, enhanced immunity with 37% fewer sick days, and better appetite and energy levels—without any increase in fat gain.
According to Dr. Mandy Ow, “This study emphasizes the profound impact of nutrition on growth, development, and overall health.” The PeptiGro System formulation, used in the trial, includes key nutrients like natural Vitamin K2, arginine, and casein phosphopeptides (CPPs), which contribute to bone strength and optimal growth.
“Proper nutrition is the foundation for growth and health,” added Dr. Jennifer Olay. “It supports physical development, builds resilience, and enhances immunity—especially in the first five years of life.”
PediaSure Plus with PeptiGro is now available across major supermarkets, pharmacies, and e-commerce platforms such as Lazada and Shopee. Parents are encouraged to consult their pediatricians and visit the Alagang Abbott website for more information.
With the launch of this enhanced formulation, Abbott continues its commitment to improving child health through science-based nutrition—empowering Filipino children to reach their full potential.
